Snowdrops for Phoebe Janette Davies

Snowdrops for Phoebe is the January story in the first of three shorts from the "Hey! Zeus!!" collection. When Phoebe's parents are killed, she is forced to make life changing decisions. Grasping this opportunity with both hands, she realises she has a lot of catching up to do to make her future life a happy one. Everything changes for Phoebe when she meets a man who tells her she has hair the colour of snowdrops. The February short story from the "Hey! Zeus!!" collection is Saint Valentine's Eve. When a complete stranger ask Gwendola Matthews to have dinner with him, little does she know what a fascinating character he will turn out to be. Gwendola is on holiday in Spain, staying with her granddaughter, Kate, and they are enjoying an evening in a local bar. Maria, the bar owner sees Gwendola's admirer talking to her and when he has gone, she tells the two women all about him. Describing events in very bad English, she soon has everyone laughing. The Green Hill, the third of the short quirky blasts of fun fiction, depicts The Easter Story from the viewpoint of two small boys. David is a studious lad, hose father plays an important part in the events of Good Friday, whereas, Thomas, his friend is only interested in playing football. This chalk and cheese duo discuss all the events leading up to the morning on the green hill and try to understand each others point of view.
